Foreword
It is rare obligation, a unique opportunity and a great blessing that I happen to be the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mysore on the eve of its Centenary Celebrations. This University is my alma mater. I have grown on its lap from my student days; I have breathed its salubrious air as a young teacher; I have learnt the fine art of teaching and the arduous task of research from revered Professors who have showered on me and all those who came in contact with them unbounded love and affection. It is this act of compassion that has inculcated in me the generosity of heart and far-reaching vision to do good to the academia as well as to the society at large.

Preface

He was not only a pioneer civil engineer whose painstaking efforts led to the modernization of independent India but was also a social revolutionary who set rolling various programmes of technical education, womens' education, general education, family planning, rural industrialization, development of large-scale industries which are in progress even today.
